Braids Weaves Through Long Tour

Canadian art-rock band Braids is weaving its way around the world in a pattern far more complicated than its name implies. After successfully touring the U.S. for the last few months, the quartet will return to the States for a fall tour with labelmates Pepper Rabbit. The band is also about to embark on a Canadian summer festival tour that will keep the members busy until August. In July, Braids will take a break from its home country and travel to Europe, where it will play a number of festivals over the course of eight very busy days.

Native Speaker, the band’s debut album, was released to positive reviews in January on Kanine and the music video to “Plath Heart” has just been released. The low-key video, which has an incredibly natural feel and features that band playing in a dirty warehouse, can be seen below.
